Susanna Reid spoke out about Celebrity Big Brother’s nominations

Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid has hit out at the “unspeakably cruel” face-to-face nominations that took place on Celebrity Big Brother last night. Last night’s episode of the ITV reality show proved to be a tearful one for the remaining housemates with the stars being forced to put one another up for eviction – and do it face-to-face.

Angellica Bell, Chris Hughes and Danny Beard were among those who became emotional, while Ella Rae Wise stormed out of the nominations in floods of tears. Speaking about the CBB drama with Melvin Odoom, host Richard Madeley delivered a blunt three-word response to all the tears. “It’s only telly!” he said.

Susanna Reid said that she thought face-to-face nominations were “cruel” on GMB

Melvin added: “Everyone’s crying Rich. Would you not be crying there?” Richard then replied: “No – maybe because I’ve been in telly all my life. It’s just telly. Who cares?”

Susanna then jumped in to reveal that she could never do Celebrity Big Brother. “I would never do it because the idea of sitting next to someone and saying, ‘You’re the person I want out.’ It seems so unspeakably cruel,” she said.

Last night’s episode saw Ella storm out of the eviction nominations after JoJo Siwa told her that she seemingly wanted there to be “negative or drama” while putting up for eviction. “I feel that can be really hard when it feels like there’s a tension that doesn’t need to be there,” JoJo said.

Ella then decided to leave the room, with Danny following her and telling her to “phase it out”. It marked the second time that Ella was in tears that episode as the TOWIE star was sent to garden jail after speaking about nominations with Angellica – therefore breaking the rules.

Meanwhile, Chris Hughes also found himself in tears while speaking to Big Brother – with the Love Island star spending 63 minutes in the diary room. After being accused of playing a game by befriending JoJo, Chris broke down as he told Big Brother: “I’m exhausted in this house to be honest. I think I’m too normal and lead a stress free life. If people have things to say just say it and air it.

“I hate toxic stuff in life. I hate toxic energy. It just brings you down. You can feel when energy shifts and it’s just not nice. I don’t want to be emotional and sad but sometimes you just can’t help it.”
